Cookbook:Caesar Salad

The Caesar salad is a traditional salad served in American restaurants, often prepared table side. It is referred to by some as the "king" of salads.

Its origin is largely credited to Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini, a restaurateur and chef in Tijuana, Baja California del Norte, Mexico. Cardini reportedly tossed the first such salad table side at his restaurant on July 4, 1924.
